Eklund: Quebec Announcement Coming? 32 Teams?

1st

who would go back to the west?

32 teams.

There is barely enough talent to field the 30 teams now, why add 2 more? Move PHX and Columbus. 1 to QBC the other to Seattle.

Eklund: Quebec Announcement Coming? 32 Teams?
- Eklund

Marty Biron grew up in Quebec City. Why is it noteworthy that he rooted for his local team?

nah

who would go back to the west?
- No Look Drop Pass

Columbus, Detroit would cry too much if they got sent back.

There are plenty of players - the USA is starting to produce ample players for at least 1 teams requirements that we didn't have when we added teams the last time. Athelete's who are too short for Basketball or too small for pro football are stille plenty tall/big for hockey.

I expect we will see Quebec and seatle in the league in 3 years. they have potential owners. KC has an arena but no owner.

Bettman just met with the Maloofs in Vegas over a team going to Vegas. The Maloofs want to buy a team.

Why does the NHL keep trying to have hockey teams in failed markets? It didn't work before why would it now????

Case in point Atlanta.

Just an FYI. St. Louis was on the brink of being moved in the 80's....how's your team doing now?

It didn't work the first time around why would it now?? And save the Florida is going to move bull shyt, the commish loves Florida, he won't allow it. Plus the Panthers lease at the BBT center is for another 8 years. Panthers should have a cup by then lol lol bahahahahahahahaha

Quebec would work new arena and strong Canadian $. It pains me to say this since I'm an isles fan. Albeit the chances where slim, until the Brooklyn deal there was a slight chance of relocation.

Panther, Jackets, Yotes, pick one to relocate. If they go to 32 We know they will expand into Ontario as the expansion fee would be huge.

Ontario people, As A outsider I assume a 2nd Toronto team would thrive? Am i correct to assume this, and would the positive affect be enough to potential hurt the Senators and Sabres. Or would a 2nd Toronto team not matter to Buffalo and Ottowa?

Just so you know Winnipeg is now one of the 10 biggest revenue generators in the league right now.

Bring back the Nordiques!!

Whats the point of adding another two teams, just kick out one of columbus or the coyotes since its a failed market and bring quebec in for one of them.
